Every time it rains, Yun Zheng feels that he has become more emotional and kinder. It seems that all the emotions that can move him fall on his body with the slightest spring rain, and then penetrate through the thick layers of his body.
The thick clothes finally turned into a feeling of coolness in my heart.
He likes to be alone when it rains. His greatest enjoyment is riding a big green horse and running along the misty path.
Unknowingly, the big green horse had gone upstream along the creek. After turning a few small bays, the green hills in front of it became taller. The big green horse's hooves stepped on the gravel at the bottom of the creek and walked more and more smoothly.
Get tough.
A high dam cuts off the stream in the middle. There is a small water outlet on the bluestone-made dam. The water outlet is not big so the water flows quickly. A waterwheel is driven by the water flow, and the millstones on the shore follow the waterwheel.
The rotation followed.
The old patriarch twirled his snow-white beard and walked around the millstone. The small broom in his hand kept sweeping the highland barley into the grinding eye. Xanthium's wife squatted under the millstone and sifted the freshly ground barley powder.
While talking, the old patriarch saw Yun Zheng coming, so he waved his hand and sent his daughter-in-law home.
"Why, you have done so many embarrassing things and you feel uncomfortable?" The old patriarch was always so blunt when talking to Yun Zheng in private.
The old patriarch opened the connecting rod, and the waterwheel immediately started to spin very fast, but the millstone stopped.
The big green horse stepped on the water and landed. Yun Zheng grabbed a handful of highland barley and put it in the palm of his hand to feed the horse. The big green horse's rough tongue licked the palm of his hand.
Seeing that Yun Zheng didn't speak, the old patriarch knew that he was right. He sighed and grabbed some dry firewood from the dry land of the mill with his big hands like rakes. He lit them with fire sticks and motioned for Yun Zheng to sit down and bake them.
Warm yourself by the fire, it’s cool in the spring, especially in the ravine.
"When you were in the village, the most you could do was secretly strangle the lame man's dog with other children, making the little girl cry and howl.
Later, you went to Doushaguan and got involved in a lawsuit involving human lives. Later, I heard that you blew up a Taoist temple in Chengdu. After that, you just kept killing people, right?"
Yun Zheng put his hands on the flames to bake them. When they felt hot, he took his hands back and rubbed them vigorously a few times. He also rubbed his cheeks, and immediately felt warm all over his body.
"How many people have you killed over the years?" The old patriarch hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Probably hundreds of thousands, I haven't counted."
The old patriarch swayed a little and asked in a trembling voice: "Were they all killed on the battlefield?"
"Some are, some aren't!"
"They all deserve to be killed?"
Yun Zheng thought hard and said, "Some of them were killed because of need."
"Shacai!"
The old patriarch became furious, picked up the broom he had just been sweeping up flour and slapped Yun Zheng hard on his back. Yun Zheng held his head and did not dodge or dodge, letting the broom in the old patriarch's hand fall on him like raindrops.
.
The beating lasted for the entire meal. The panting old patriarch finally stopped, and Yun Zheng's hair was already as messy as grass.
"Has anyone held you accountable for the murder?" The old patriarch continued to ask, barely out of breath.
"Not now, but maybe in the future."
The old patriarch sat silently by the fire. Seeing that the fire was gradually going out, he added a handful of firewood, and the place became warm again.
"According to the path I want to take in the future, it is very likely that there will no longer be a place for me on the mainland, and even Dousha Village will not be able to provide me with safety."
Yun Zheng was bored and playing with the fire with branches.
The old patriarch took a deep breath and puffed up his chest and said: "You are the children of my Dousha Village. If there is any disaster, we should bear it together. We can't just share the glory and money you bring. When we are unlucky, we should also be together. Too bad, this is a family!"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Dousha Village can't stop it. The things I've caused are too big. Unless I become the emperor or go boating into the sea, this will be a knot that cannot be untied."
When the old patriarch heard the word "emperor", his eyes suddenly shone, and he asked: "If you become an emperor, do you still have to kill people? I heard that when the new emperor comes out, he will kill all the people of the old emperor." Lose?"
"Not only that, many times I will even kill my own relatives, my friends, teachers, and acquaintances. In other words, if anyone blocks my way to become emperor, no matter who he is, he will be on the list of expungement, and no one will be exempted. .
The founding emperors from ancient times to the present have done this, and the founding emperor of this dynasty is the one who killed the fewest people."
The old patriarch shuddered and shook his hands repeatedly: "My dear, this is not worthy of being an emperor. If he kills everyone, wouldn't he become a monster?"
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "You are right, the emperor is a monster. After a person becomes the emperor, he is no longer a human being. Instead, he becomes a monster called a dragon. In the eyes of this monster, Except for the throne under your butt, there is no room for anything. You are illiterate and have never read history books. If you read history books, you will know that you should kill me, kill your son, kill your wife, kill your daughter, kill your son-in-law. The emperor is the one who does most of this kind of thing, and after killing him, he still has an unreasonable excuse - those who spy on the imperial power will die!"
Yun Zheng saw that the dark face of the old patriarch turned purple after hearing what he said, and he quickly comforted him and said: "Grandpa Patriarch, we can't be the emperor. I can't pass the test of killing my own people first, so just now You gave me a good beating, which has reduced my guilt a lot. You have taught me a lesson. I have paid the price for the wrong things I did, and now I feel much better.
To be honest, you are the only one in the world who can make me bow my head and accept it when you teach me a lesson. If it were anyone else, I would never accept it, not even the emperor."
The old patriarch gritted his teeth and said: "If you will die if you don't become the emperor, grandpa agrees with you becoming the emperor and killing others. Even if you want to kill me, I will admit it. In short, I don't want to see you die!"
Yun Zheng smiled slightly and stretched out his arms to hug the old patriarch tightly. Seeing that the old patriarch seemed uncomfortable with such intimacy, he smiled and said: "You are my biological grandfather, but we are not emperors. I just want to treat you as flesh and blood." , a grandson who knows how to be happy, knows how to feel hot and cold, and knows how to lose his temper.
Even if I don't become the emperor, I won't die. Don't forget, your grandson is the smartest person in the world. If we don't become the emperor, we won't allow others to hurt my relatives, even the emperor can't do it. It's amazing. Let's go out to sea to find him. No matter where we settle down on an island full of peach blossoms, the emperor's will will not reach us, and other people's harm will not reach us. We are our own masters."
The old patriarch looked at Yun Zheng with pity and smiled and said: "We are old and can't live without Dousha Village. If you want to leave, take away those bastards who are enjoying happiness in Chengdu. Leave earlier and settle down earlier. Don’t wait until the point of no return before leaving in a hurry.”
Yun Zheng scratched his head and said: "I also want to leave now, but I always feel that I still have unfinished things. I even feel that there is a force pushing me forward. If I don't finish these things, I might not be able to get away."
The old patriarch pondered for a moment and said: "My child, you come from the mountains. No one knows your origins, not even grandpa. In the early years, the government asked several times, but I always told them that you were a child born in Dou Sha Village." , if you have questions, why don't you go to the place where you came to find out the reason. You were too young back then and didn't think things through. Now that you have grown up, you can go and re-visit the place where you were born. You have lived in the mountains for ten years. After a few years, there should be traces left."
"Grandpa, I am a human being, and Yun Er is also a human being. I am very sure of this. Our brothers are not mountain spirits or ghosts. We just don't understand how we appeared in this mountain."
When Yun Zheng saw the old patriarch saying such words evasively, he understood that he was wrong. Yun Zheng even dared to bet that at a certain moment just now, the old man even thought that his two brothers were spirits in the mountains, or this idea It has been in his heart for many years.
The more the old patriarch thinks like this, the more Yun Zheng likes the old patriarch. Why shouldn't he respect an old man who can even accept weird children?
"When we came out of the mountain, we saw a lot of Bo people's hanging coffins. If we want to go back, we just need to continue walking along the Bo people's hanging coffins."
After hearing these words, the old patriarch jumped up, pointed at the mountain and cursed loudly, saying that he still didn't know the strange words there.
After finally waiting for the old patriarch to finish scolding him, Yun Zheng saw the old patriarch grab Yun Zheng's shoulders with a tiger's leap and said loudly: "I know these stupid Bo people are not good-hearted. They can't live like human beings when they are alive. If they die, In the future, we will put the corpses that are not eaten by dogs on the cliff, and we will not hesitate to sell our wives and children for this. It must be that these hanging coffins have affected our feng shui and our sanity. You can be a good and kind child by yourself. Why did he become a murderous demon? There must be something weird in this. I will unite with the folks from all over the country to burn all those hanging coffins, and we will not allow them to put coffins on the cliff again..."
Yun Zheng knew clearly whether he was a kind person or not. The Bo people only had such a hobby, and it looked like it was going to be destroyed... The old patriarch was obviously taking his anger out on others. His nefarious grandson was originally It shouldn't be like this. It's all the stupid Bo people who used corpses to cast spells to become the kind of bastards who are killing people all over the world.
The old patriarch is now regarded as an influential figure in Dousha County. If he mobilizes all the people in Dousha County, let alone the hanging coffins on the cliffs, from now on on the ground of Dousha Village, we can see several top doors with two rotating heads. The Bo people are a strange thing.
Yun Zheng suddenly felt that his sins seemed to be more serious. In this matter, the will of the old patriarch could no longer be reversed.
